03/10/2015

It is already the symbol of the Italian Pavilion and it will be the reference point for all Expo 2015 visitors. This is "The Tree of Life": a steel and wood structure combination, reaching last week the height of 37 meters with its large canopy.
The Tree of Life, the Italian Pavilion's symbol, stands at the center of Lake Arena, artificial pond overlooked by wide steps located in the largest Expo 2015 open air space area. It is positioned in front of "Palazzo Italia", which is the building representing Italian State and Government.

The work, created by the Consortium "Orgoglio Brescia" - (Pride Brescia), sees Feralpi Group between the partners thanks to a double support. From one side Feralpi Siderurgica provided its tone for reinforcing the concrete to give substance to the roots of the Steel Tree, from the other Nuova Defim Orsogril supplied the open steel flooring gratings.
In particular, the latter designed and manufactured the indoor landings, the treads and a number of external walkways on eleven different sections, up to reach the top of the tree.
Last but not least, the construction site perimeter protection has been realized with Nuova Defim OrsogrilDefendertemporary fence welded mesh panels.
